Is it mandatory to carry the FOID card while possessing a firearm?

Yes
No
Only in certain cities
Only when transporting firearms

The correct answer is: Yes

Yes, it is mandatory to carry the FOID card while possessing a firearm in Illinois. The FOID card serves as proof that the individual has undergone a background check and is legally allowed to possess firearms in the state. Carrying the FOID card ensures that law enforcement officials can verify the individual's eligibility to possess firearms if requested. Option B is incorrect because not carrying the FOID card while possessing a firearm is against Illinois state law. Options C and D are also incorrect as the requirement to carry the FOID card applies statewide, not just in certain cities or only when transporting firearms.
